Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mark - Wilhelm II (Pattern) ND (1908-1909) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver plated copper weighing 3.99 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and artist, Georg Friedrich Schmidt. Schmidt was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were highly regarded during his time. The coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1908 and 1909, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
